I made a new friend today. He was the most mellow black rat snake I've encountered, and they are a very mellow species. I walked up on him slowly and scooped him up. He made no effort to strike or escape. He did however land a stinging tail slap, but...

I had some fun trying to photograph Alypia octomaculata, the 8 spotted forester moth. This is a striking, day-flying moth whose larvae feed on Vitaceae plants. Unfortunately, I didn't get a decent shot with the hindwings exposed so you can only see...

@19dacar52 Here's a cool jumping spider that I found along Penn's Creek that I've been trying to photograph. I need to work on my macro skills a bit, but it's a start!

My 9yo son is a master anole wrangler. He has discovered that if you put them on their backs they seem to have a tonic reflex and they become calm and docile.

My buddy and I traveled to Union County today to find a copperhead for me to photograph. We hiked about 7 miles along Penn's Creek and didn't see a single copperhead. We did, however, find 5 wood turtles, 3 snapping turtles, 3 rattlesnakes, a black...

My Argentinian black-and-white Tegu is just coming out of her first brumation. I named her Pandora. She is not named after the music streaming Pandora. Anybody know what she is named after?

Today's sighting. What's with reptiles and asphalt? smh This black rat snake fled off of the road when I approached; so I didn't get a chance to pet him.

Explained to my cousin in NY that the turtle in her backyard was heading to nesting grounds - not a "dude".... and that it wasn't "lost".... then I saw this great meme.... We're reaching the masses folks!

So, I saw something new today. Whilst I walked in the mountains with a good friend of mine, we stumbled upon SEVERAL ticks that were questing on old scat. There were at least 10 of them. @Insectra you may not have an answer to this, but why scat? ...

Dung beetles! I apologize for the image quality. There are three in the shot, one is in the middle of digging a hole for the dung, another clings to the dung, and the third has been beat out by the other two. It soon moved on. These were seen in the ...

I saw this big female box turtle crossing my parents' driveway earlier this week. Tonight, she is digging a nest alongside the driveway, a bit further up. If she lays eggs there I will place a screen top to keep the skunks and raccoons out.
